7 Chain over reaction?

Toshiro stormed into his office, frightening Matsumoto who was sitting on the sofa.

"Captain! Where is Kai??" Matsumoto looked puzzled, she was sure that Kai would have been with him. He ignored her and walked over to his desk sitting down and picking up the paperwork that was piled on his desk. He shot her a glare that would freeze Hawaii and continued his task. Matsumoto stood up and walked over to him sitting on the edge of the desk.

"Captain?" Her voice was concerned.

He sighed, keeping his eyes on the papers in front of him.

"Matsumoto, did you know?"

"Know what?"

"That Kai had achieved Bankai? Did she tell you? It's just she didn't tell me." He looked at her now and she could see in his eyes that he was hurt.

"THAT'S WHY YOU'RE UPSET?!" She yelled at him inches form his face. " WHY DON'T YOU STOP BEING SO CHILDISH AND GO ASK HER WHY SHE NEVER TOLD YOU! AND NO SHE DIDN'T TELL ME, FROM WHAT I KNOW SHE ONLY TOLD HEAD CAPTAIN YAMAMOTO! SO GROW UP, GET OVER IT AND GO SPEAK TO HER!"

Matsumoto moved to the sofa and sat herself down her arms folded across her chest, a smug smile on her face.

Toshiro beamed red, she was right, he had over reacted, they had known each other a little over a month and he expected her to tell him everything. Yet, he felt like he had known her longer, she had become everything to him in such a short time, he smiled when he thought of her and their first conversation, when she had made fun of his hair. He knew even then that he was falling for her, there was an aura about her that made him drop all the walls he had built up to avoid hurting and being hurt.

He stood from his desk.

"I'm going to find Captain Ukitake" He lied "I'll be gone a while, do some work will you?"

Matsumoto knew he was lying, she turned round and smiled.

"Make sure you give him a big hug from me then will ya?" She winked at him, Toshiro flushed and quickly exited the room.

Kai sat atop the Sokyoku hill, watching the sun set, thinking about Toshiro.

Why had he just walked away from her earlier? He had such anger in his eyes, she couldn't understand it, she had thought they were closer than that. With him, she had never felt more at home, he made her feel safe, like nothing could touch her. Did he feel the same? She thought he did, the way he smiled when he was with her, this morning when he had been sprawled on his bed his arms up behind his head, she had felt such a rush of emotions towards him. It confused her. She shook her head trying to rid the thought that had crossed her mind. No I'm not… am I?

"Kai?" A voice came from behind her, waking her from her thoughts. She turned round.

"Oh, hi." It was Toshiro, with a sorry look on his face. She turned back to watch the sunset, scowling . who does he think he is anyway?! Just because he was in a bad mood doesn't mean I have to suffer!

She stood to leave.

"Kai, please." His voice was pleading, she turned back to him and seen he was crouched down his arms resting on his knees, his head hung low. She sighed in bemusement.

"I'm surprised you want to speak to me, you sure as shit didn't want to earlier." She bit her lip, trying not to show emotions.

" I know, I was a jerk earlier, I overreacted, I was just pissed off that you hadn't told me that you had achieved Bankai. Don't ask why it pissed me off it just did, but I was out of line with the way I treated you, you don't deserve that, I'm sorry."

Kai had to put her hand over her mouth to hide the grin that was rapidly spreading across her face. She stifled a laugh but Toshiro heard it, he looked up at Kai who was now shaking with silent laughter. She looked at his confused face and burst into fits of laughter.

"That's why you're pissed off? Toshiro you never even asked what my Zanpaktou was based on! In fact the only reason I knew what yours was, was because Matsumoto told me about it! When have we ever had a conversation regarding fighting skills?? I thought it was something serious like if you ever spoke to me again Head Captain Yamamoto would chop your head off or something! Don't scare me like that!!" Her expression had turned serious.

"Besides, I achieved Bankai ages ago, my mother trained me for years! I am 20 you know, I've been practicing for as long as I can remember!"

He had worried her with his actions, he felt guilty, no, ashamed of himself. He was a captain who was acting no better than a child who was left out of a game he wanted to play. He sat on the ground, his arms behind him looking up at the sky which was darkening rapidly. He closed his eyes.

"I'm sorry, it was childish of me, if you want I can ask for another Captain to take over your training for the remainder of your time here"

"And why would I want that?"

He opened his eyes as Kai dropped down onto the ground next to him, a grin on her face.

"I've not exactly been acting like a Captain to you have I?"

"No but then again you're not my Captain are you?" He smiled at her words, she was right in a way but that didn't excuse his actions.

"Besides, if you moved me who would be there to catch and undress me when I pass out?" She nudged him slightly. He laughed

"I thought we covered this, I didn't undress you, Matsumoto did."

"But you wish you did right?"

He was stunned by her comment. He tried to form words but his mouth was dry, he could feel the heat generating from his face, What the hell is this? She has me tongue tied at every turn!

"You don't even have to speak for me to know that answer Toshiro, it's written all over your face."

"I, I, I have no idea what you're on about" He turned his head back to the sky above him. Kai leaned into him her head resting lightly on his shoulder.

"Hmm, well all I can say is at least one of us is decent, if it'd been the other way around I would've undressed you, no questions asked."

Toshiro sighed, and looked at her.

"Kai?"

"Toshiro."

" I think that, that…" Toshiro faltered over his words. He seen something black out the corner of his eye and a Hell Butterfly landed on his vacant shoulder.

"I have to go, it's an emergency." He mumbled as the Hell Butterfly fluttered away.

"But…." Kai grabbed his hand as he went to leave.

"It's okay, come by my private quarters later, we can talk then." He let go of her hand and shunpoed off into the distance.

Kai sighed replaying the last five minutes in her head.

What was he going to say? He thinks that what?……

--

Toshiro walked back from the Captains meeting with a feeling of dread in his stomach. Aizen had attack another town, near to Karakura Town. He had killed everyone, men, women, children. That bastard! Who does he think he is?!

He clenched his fists walking faster towards his private quarters.

And the final battle is approaching, will we be able to defeat him? What does he plan for us? For Kai? What if I can't protect her?

Toshiro opened the door to his room and was surprised to see Kai fast asleep on his bed. Well I did say to come round, guess I was longer than I thought. He climbed onto the bed next to her and lay in the dark gazing at her silvery silhouette, watching her chest rise and fall, her face had a pained expression on it, as though she was having bad dreams. Toshiro gently stroked her cheek and she moaned slightly, rolling over onto her side away from him. He breathed a smile and lay back against the pillows, his eyes were heavy with fatigue, his spar with her earlier had taken some amount of energy out of him and he felt himself drifting off to sleep.

--

Suddenly there was a loud explosion right outside the tenth division headquarters, Toshiro woke with a start.

"What the hell?!"

There was another explosion and Toshiro's windows blew in sending glass and wood flying. He dove over Kai to keep her safe.

"Toshiro what the hell is going on?" Kai was trembling beneath him. He sat up and pulled her off the bed which was now strewn with debris.

"I don't know but it's not safe here, follow me."

"Toshiro you're hurt!" He tried not to pay attention to the gashes on his cheeks and arms.

"I'm fine, come on!" He grabbed Hyorinmaru and Kuroi Hoshi and they ran out the door into the hallway.

The deserted hallway had fared no better and there were half a dozen bodies of his subordinates strewn around.

"My god…" Kai's voice was shaky, Toshiro reminded himself that while she was strong in battle she had never experienced war. He grabbed her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"It's okay, come on we need to find another Captain."

They took off towards 13th division.

--

Captains Jushiro Ukitake and Shunsui Kyouraku were racing towards the explosion at tenth division, when they met Kai and Toshiro. Toshiro's face and arms were covered in blood.

"Captain Hitsugaya are you alright?" Captain Kyouraku was over at him checking his wounds.

"I'm fine. We need to get out of here, I don't know what the hell is going on!"

There was a sudden burst of laughter behind them.

"My my not like you Captain Hitsugaya, you're usually one of the first to know. Ukitake, Kyouraku, and you must be Kai." Aizen stepped forward towards them.

"AIZEN!" Toshiro spun round and drew Hyorinmaru. But Kai was in front of him her arm over his chest.

"YOU! YOU'RE THE BASTARD THAT KILLED MY MOTHER!!" She screamed at him.

Aizen rubbed his chin. "Why yes that would be me"

Kai drew her Zanpaktou. Her eyes were slits and Toshiro was sure they were the same silver they were when she released her Bankai.

Aizen drew his own sword, he rushed at Jushiro.

At the last minute Jushiro drew his own swords, and the two began a fierce battle.

Aizen swung his sword high, Jushiro blocked it, and at that moment a katana appeared from no where, flying towards Jushiro at incredible speed. Toshiro seen it and jumped forward, blocking it with Hyorinmaru.

"Gin, I was wondering where you were!" Toshiro growled at the lilac haired man who was at least fifty feet away.

"Captain Hitsugaya, it's been a while. How nice to see you have finally softened and found a girlfriend. She's a live one eh?" Gin's creepy smile was frozen on his face.

"Why don't you come over here and we'll see who's softened eh Ichimaru?" Toshiro's riatsu flared, he readied himself for battle.

Gin was surprised that Hitsugaya was prepared to face him since their last battle had ended badly. He shrugged and ran at Toshiro, his sword extended, Toshiro dodged to the side. Gin swung his Zanpaktou around again, the clash of steel on steel rang around Seireitei. Aizen and Jushiro paused in the midst of their fight. Jumping back from the two, now fighting for their very lives.

They stood watching Toshiro and Gin fighting, Kai couldn't believe the change of the man in front of her, she had heard the rumors of the child prodigy, but he had obviously been going easy on her during their spar.

"Captain Kyouraku? Shouldn't we help?" Kai was stunned that neither he nor Jushiro had helped Toshiro.

"This is a long standing battle Kai, we have to let Toshiro judge this one."

Aizen stepped back from the fight as Toshiro called out Hyorinmaru. Gin dodged to the side but his arm was caught in the wave of water and froze instantly.

"My my Captain Hitsugaya, it seems I'm in a bit of a bind eh?" Gin's smile never left his face.

Suddenly Toshiro felt a sharp pain in his side, followed by a warm moist sensation.

Aizen was next to him sheathing his Zanpaktou.

Toshiro looked down, crimson covered his Haori.

Dammit…..that bastard.

His vision went dark, the last thing he heard was Kai screaming his name.

--

Gin shook the remaining ice off his arm and picked up Toshiro.

"Nice seeing you again, but we really must be off, so much to do so little time and all that ya know." Gin smirked at them, turned round and followed Aizen through the gates to Hueco Mundo.

--

"No, Toshiro! Dammit!" Kai dropped to her knees, tears poured down her face. Jushiro knelt next to her, his hand on her back.

"Kai, we need to go and see Head Captain Yamamoto, can you stand?"

Kai nodded, wiping her eyes.

"I'm not hurt."

"Good, then that gives us one less thing to worry about."

Captain Kyouraku nodded. Jushiro gave Kai a reassuring hug and then the three of them took off towards Head Captain Yamamoto's residence.
